We've been busy over here trying to get life back on track from a weird week.

Our regular sitter (Michael's grandmother) was gone all week due to an ill family member...that meant the kids went to a drop in day care center, which was interesting for the boys.

Then there was out "camp out" at my SIL's house because of the electricity fiasco!

And when we got home from the "camp out", we found that my older dog had gotten sick...

ALL OVER MY COUCH!

Unfortunately, there is no hope for the couch now...the trash men will be hauling it away on Monday.

So that means, re-arranging to entire living room to accommodate two arm chairs instead of the couch...what a mess. But it ended up being a nice change, so I'll post pics of the "new" living room soon!

The white ruffled part was already on there, but again...this dress had a REALLY low neckline.

(about an inch of my bra cup was showing on each side!! And I wasn't gonna post a pic of it.)

But I couldn't rescue this one like my other three dresses. Hmmm...what to do?

I decided to alter the sleeves and pull it in about an inch in the shoulders to bring up the front.

By turning the dress inside out, I pinched the back and front necklines together and stitched a new shoulder seam (starting an inch down...tapering up to the corner seam for the shoulder).

The result is full coverage in the front :) and...a cute little capped sleeve!

There were belt loops on the sides...but no belt. No biggie...I had one that would work and with my altering, the waist line was shifted anyways. I snipped em off and here is the new waist line with a smart black belt.

Thanks so much everyone for all your awesome projects! All the creativity is just too much!

I was off on Monday, so I finally had the time to make this runner I first saw here and then here.

I knew I wanted to make one and this is a GREAT scrap buster!

Best of all...my husband actually likes it!! Hehe!

He even thinks I should add some color like this to other areas of the house.

Hmmmm.....

Got to use a lot of scrap fabric that I love and haven't been able to part with. In fact, just before seeing this project, I had gone thru and thrown out a bunch of stuff I could have used :( on this one.

(I plan of serving these tonight after dinner...hope the kids like them!)

Thanks so much everyone for all your awesome projects! All the creativity is just too much!
